Cultural Organizations and Communities
Celebrating the people and organizations that make Eindhoven feel like home.
Stay tuned, the line up is still growing!
Culture is what gives a city its soul. It carries traditions, sparks creativity, and helps us understand one another. At Winter Market Eindhoven, we celebrate the cultural organizations that bring knowledge, art, and culture to life. They invite visitors to explore the richness of the region through music, exhibitions, and shared traditions that connect us with the past and inspire the future.
Alongside them, communities create spaces of warmth and belonging. They bring people together across backgrounds, share stories, and make Eindhoven feel like home. In these spaces, friendships grow, cultures meet, and everyone finds a place at the table.
By engaging with both cultural organizations and communities, we encourage understanding and belonging, and together we keep the heart of our region warm through the winter.
